I Had dis arguement with sum1..he believes dat once u r in love u wud learn 2 understand d person and b compatible cos its d greatest commandment in d Bible. I disagreed cos I blive dat Love gets a relationship going while compatibility & understanding keeps it going.I asked another friend and he told me dat love covers all & LOVE is when you have seen all her excesses,her flaws and you still love and want to be with her.. He asked me what I wud do if I was in relationship wit sumone who had a bad leg nd pple made fun of (@ 1st I thought "I wn't date sum1 who had a bad leg".but 2 answer his question I said if I cn't stand up for d person I wud jus leave d relationship nt cos I dn't love d person but cos I cn't stand up for d person.Evry1 is different. I also looked @ dis link www.nairaland.com/26143/true-love-versus-campatibility-understanding My question is does "Love cover all" or "Love + compatibility/understanding"??

Understanding is better. It is the compassionaye love. The emotional feeling we all regard as love isnt love but sexual attraction

^^ Does dat mean d feeling called love is over-rated?

Love doesnt exist. if it does,it wont fade. what we feel is an attraction to certain qualities he/she posseses,which could also fade overtime. but communication and understanding keeps a realationshp going.

They say; love is blind,marriage will open your eyes,because the reality of compartibility and understanding sets in, to love ur patner now becomes a duty not a feeling....more reason why i say it doesnt exist.

the fact that love aint real is true, but ur trying to explain abt compatibility is just an unnecessary effort!

U can't build compatibility, nor can u make it happen.

A round hole with a round peg:::a square with a square. Tryin to trim the square to fit into the round means shedding some things that won't make them be together.

And as far as human is concern, its not possible!!!

So, let each peg finds its whole..

No shedding, no alteration!

Compatibility makes the relationship strong, gets it going, and keeps it that way!

U can't even tolerate someone u aint compatible with.

So, compatibility is just the word!
